More than 2,200 documents, posters, manuscripts and photographs, many of them indicating German participants in the Nazi regime’s actions against Jews, went on display here today at Cologne’s Town Museum, under the auspices of Dr. Kurt Hackenburg, head of this city’s board of education. The purpose, he said, is to show the German people the destructive results of anti-Semitism.
Included among the exhibits are documents and objects loaned for the purpose by collections in various museums in Israel, the United States, and 15 European countries–including East Germany. The emphasis of the exhibit, Dr. Hackenburg said, is to show the contributions made by Jews in the Rhineland toward Christian-Jewish and German-Jewish understanding.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
